Meeting the Challenges of Energy Sustainability
How much energy do my appliances use? What should I change to improve this?
We are all increasingly preoccupied by these questions as resources become scarce and energy costs rise. Are there tools to help us navigate these concerns?
Across the EU, appliances are rated for energy use, and some electrical installations "estimate" consumption by category. But ratings and estimates don't reflect real usage. How much energy does is used in different modes? What impact does ECO mode have? What about older or second-hand devices? Raising awareness falls short of helping us make informed choices day to day.
Monitoring the real consumption of appliances is a key to making sound daily decisions about use, repair and replacement. All of this occurs before you ever go to a store and look at energy efficiency labels.
Real-Time Data Inspires Good Behavior
Knowing how our appliances perform and how we use them are crucial to wise use and purchasing decisions. For example... Why replace a rarely used oven instead the old water heater in the basement. The water heater contributes twenty times more to annual household electricity consumption. Knowing is the key to good decisions.
What about appliance energy-saving modes? Do we use them? Knowing and seeing what the differences are between consumption in different operating modes is the key to using them.
In both situations, getting correct, visual, real-time data can help us set priorities and make meaningful, durable changes in our homes and workplaces.
